Solar Impulse Photos & Images

By Kate

Hi everyone,

As I promised on Friday, here are some photos Virginie took (merci!) from her iPhone at the Solar Impulse Unveiling. I’ve also included some Solar Impulse CATIA images.

If you have any Solar Impulse images to share, feel free to upload them in the comments section.

Enjoy!

Kate

Can someone tell me what those protruding sword-like objects are? There are three all pointing forward . . . thanks!

They are probably air data probes, to gather static and dynamic pressure. I would suggest the large wingspan requires 3 probes, rather than just one.

Hi John, many thanks for your answer! Now that I have a name for the objects, I found this webpage building on the information you provided:
